shmohamudyes14:00
scooperI advise  you change that question that was given to fkoikoi14:00
shmohamudwhy?14:01
scooperIt has been solve here already14:01
shmohamudOk, let me think14:01
shmohamudwrite a function that takes in a number and adds it to 3. Call it add_three14:02
scooperSound better14:02
shmohamudit should return the resulting number with 3 added14:02
scooperIs it me or fkoikoi14:02
shmohamudThat's for fkoikoi. For you, write a function that takes a string and returns a string where the letters are reversed. Example is "apple" comes back as "elppa"14:04
scooperhahahahah Programmer 14:04
shmohamudwhat's so funny scooper?!14:04
scooperThis one seeing challenging but as you said programmer should always use 80% to think14:05
